No I can assure you that I am not a lumberjack
I made a little altar for myself
I love it
That’s a beautiful set. What’s it’s name ?
I thought that was some sort of euphemism for a moment lol
Christ in a Chrysler, that’s an amazing looking piece. What’s that butterfly thing, incense holder?
I enjoyed this one a lot. Sadly no room in my stack for an extended run.
Results I’ve gotten are just from one loop.
Internal feeling of deserving happiness, not as an entitlement but that I am allowed to be happy, that I deserve to feel fulfillment and joy
Better self-control and insight towards what was impacting my happiness and joy - and whether what I was doing or thinking of was increasing or decreasing my happiness/joy/fulfillment. If it was decreasing it I took steps to avoid it, or flat out stopped doing it.
Examples: I removed subreddits from my reddit feed, blocked YT channels.
I had awareness of me being irritated - and recognizing that I gained nothing from holding on to this irritation, so I let go and started thinking of positive memories, thoughts.
As I wrote in my initial results post; It immediately gave insight on how different my state becomes whenever I engage in negative thinking.
It made me more engaging in forums, ideas, and concepts that I cared about. I usually avoid online discussions and news because in 99% of the times, it’s an expenditure of energy and time - and brings up negativity, it’s just not a worthwhile trade. This didn’t change. But when it came to topics that I did care about, I engaged in those - because I enjoy it.
Morning/Evening routine changed so that they started with positivity/happiness, not mindless scrolling.
Engaging with people and discussions that brought me joy
Engaging in work that feels more aligned with my path/purpose - and brings joy/fulfillment
Enjoying nature more on my daily walks with dog
Now afterwards (~20days after my loop)
I have not noticed much more development. The insights I’ve had of course remain, my inclination towards happiness & joy remains. But the initiative, the energy is somewhat lacking. I’m not as aware of negative thoughts, or at the very least I do not have it as easy to just shift to something positive instead.
Today I’ve been lethargic (probably caught some flu) and I started the day with mindless scrolling, I know it’s negative etc but I just didn’t have the mental energy/capacity to do what would give me more fulfillment, a somewhat sad statement. Essentially the “path” towards AoH remains, but I did not have enough time with it to ensure my habits, and mental practices keeps me on that path.
I am quite impressed by what this one loop did, and am looking forward to when I revisit AoH. Glad for the rest of you who had room in your stack and can continue running it.
This made me realize one of my wins with this title so far.
I find myself at times typing out something that will definitely result in a negative response and then I just delete it and carry on. I’m having more restraint asking myself, what would love do?
Will this bring more happiness and joy or will this cause a problem? Is this useful?
If it’s not loving or useful, don’t do it!
Confirmed by Saint, if I understood correctly, that in a custom GHJ can serve as a sort of “self love” core
Please correct me if I’m wrong @SaintSovereign
Anyways, I put GHJ, AS, and LB in a custom with some virtue modules and the new module selection - with the intent of growing into a better person and discovering who I am and loving myself more, and dare I say it’s been fantastic. Nearly frictionless and no recon, and I have over exposed lawl
Note - doesn’t mean you won’t get recon running this, only that I think my intent and direction in life is extremely aligned with the custom
My results with Genesis Happiness so far:
Total listening time: 38 minutes, over 4 listening sessions (between 3 and 15 miutes)
My happiness baseline has improved slightly.
More carefree and unstressed about life.
I am realizing that I can be happy with who I am regardless of how much I succeed or not succeed in life.
In a sense, my happiness is kind of “guaranteed anyways”, so there is less pressure to “succeed in life at all cost”.
I am less hard on myself when it comes to making mistakes, because how I feel about myself is now less dependant on the outcome of something.
Extremely reduced sugar and carbs consumption, because again, I much less need to 1. boost my mood (through sugar) or 2. numb myself (through carbs).
Saint was definitely right that this title reduces external validation seeking (since you become happy from within, there is less neediness for a certain specific external outcome).
This definitely gives me a positive type of IDGAF attitude.
Which in turn, helps with reducing the recon from WB.
One of the key to being non-chalant, is to be happy from within and therefore be unaffected by external events.
I felt these exact same results when I was running Love Bomb, so I wonder what those two stacked together would be like.
I was sitting in meditation wondering how this title relates to self love and pulled this card to follow:
Allow yourself to feel joy with no limits. This is self-love.
I have upped the carbs and feel good about it!
I upped the red wine
when I was running Love Bomb, so I wonder what those two stacked together would be like.
Simply the best
Saint was definitely right that this title reduces external validation seeking (since you become happy from within, there is less neediness for a certain specific external outcome).
Thats definitely true for me too with AoH, but first I had to go through some very weird experiences amd painful realizations, to uncover how deeply I was holding on to the idea of “happiness comes from external validation, which comes from success”. That was affecting me both in romantic relationship and my relationship with $$$.
The relaxation and happiness baseline is slowly, but surely moving up.
I feel like me when I’m happy (:
Love it

It’s so difficult to not listen to this every morning and night lol. First few days I had it I did listen once a day, but now I’m on a normal listening schedule. Custom is the only thing in my stack
This is what I would call a “good ass custom.” Very focused and intentional. Indicates that you’ve done a lot of inner work to determine exactly what you feel like you need.
EDIT: I’m curious to see how Alchemist: Singularity is affecting this custom. Do you find yourself gravitating more toward a “middle path” in situations, recognizing both sides and finding a way to navigate both in a harmonious manner?
